'Who Killed Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi?'

Scott MacLeod, Time, Who Killed Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi?, 24 May 09 "The chance to ever learn al-Libi's full story ended on May 11 when a Libyan newspaper reported that he had committed “suicide” inside Abu Salim prison. Curiously, al-Libi managed to steel himself through years of incarceration and torture, only to supposedly commit “suicide” as a new U.S. government opens the Bush administration's torture files. Wilkerson says that his death came as U.S. lawyers working with tortured detainees were attempting to get Col. Gadhafi's government to allow al-Libi to be interviewed. As it turns out, Human Rights Watch was in fact allowed brief access to al-Libi last April 27, two weeks or less before his “suicide.” He refused to speak to the HRW representative, except to ask, “Where were you when I was being tortured in American jails?”"
